Vehicle System Cross-Device Setting Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing vehicle systems require drivers to reconfigure vehicle characteristics when switching vehicles, which is time-consuming and often impossible to replicate accurately due to differences in vehicle settings methods.
Innovation Solution
A vehicle system that includes a first vehicle with an information storage unit to store and output vehicle characteristic information to a storage medium, and a second vehicle with an input unit to receive and set these characteristics, allowing for the transfer of desired driving settings across vehicles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If vehicle characteristics are manually reconfigured when switching vehicles, then drivers can adapt to new vehicles, but it is time-consuming and may not accurately replicate preferred settings
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a digital copy of vehicle characteristic information from a first vehicle and transfers it to a second vehicle. The information storage stores vehicle characteristic information representing desired driving settings, and the information output unit outputs this stored information to a storage medium, which is then input by the second vehicle to reproduce the same driving characteristics without manual reconfiguration.
2Adaptability or versatility
If vehicle characteristic information is transferred between vehicles, then drivers can maintain consistent settings across different vehicles, but requires additional information storage and transfer mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The vehicle control device performs multiple functions: it acts as both the information storage for storing vehicle characteristic information and the information output unit for transferring this information to external storage media. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components, thereby minimizing the increase in system complexity while enabling setting transfer across vehicles.

AI summary
A vehicle system includes a first vehicle and a second vehicle. The first vehicle includes an information storage configured to store vehicle characteristic information representing a vehicle characteristic, and an information output unit configured to output the stored vehicle characteristic information to a predetermined storage medium. The second vehicle includes an information input unit configured to input vehicle characteristic information from the storage medium, and a vehicle characteristic setter configured to set a vehicle characteristic represented by the input vehicle characteristic information in the second vehicle.
